Not a Vauxhall, but I'm afraid there weren't many alternatives as I was quite specific with what I wanted.
It's a 115bhp TDDI Ghia. Goes well, stops well and is lovely and comfy. Perfect for a daily car that will hopefully last me a good few years.
Currently looking for alternative accomodation as the other half has a job offer, so hopefully we'll get a project on the go once I've got a proper garage to work in.
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
I don't understand why you got a Mondeo?? Surely, there has to be a Vauxhall that does all of the above just as well...
Not really. The only thing that came close would have been a Vectra B, and I already had one of those. lmao
To be honest, this is in a different world to the Vectra. The build quality is incredible compared to anything I've had before. The second day I had it we folded the seats flat and got a mower in the boot, no problems. I went down to the Ground Zero Weekender last weekend, folded the seats flat, put my sleeping bag in the back and slept in it all weekend.
I love it, it's awesome so far, there's nothing I don't like about it.

Cool but a mondeo... A Omega derv would have been Epic.
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
They're not that great on fuel apparently, but I agree, that would have been cool.

But mpg isnt everything, the 36 your every was getting would have made me happy. Worrying about mpg it what your granddad should be doing.. not you.
I've worked on to many mondeo's to think they are nice, but it looks tidy and know you'll look after it.

29 in the Vectra.55 in the Mondeo.

Would be nice to see 29mpg in my BMW... If MPG is your thing, why didn't you get a VW? I work at a Ford main dealership and the build quality of those Mondeos is shocking... Just watch out for dash fires

Might want to be careful trying to play with modern diesels, they aint like the old Izuzu's! lmao lmao
It's OK, mine's direct injection, so it's exactly like the old Isuzus.
My old man's getting me a cheeky tuning box ("tuning" lmao ) for it, and I'll just wind the boost up until the smoke dissappears. Decat was well worth it though, even if it is a bit of a placebo modification.

Fitted my decat and chip last weekend, goes like **** off a shovel now.Also changed insurance from Direct Line (no modifications if you're under 25, WTF?
) to Admiral (all mods declared, my dad and my girlfriend on the policy for the same price as Direct Line had just me
).
Had a door re-sprayed as well after some little c*nt who couldn't keep their bastard hands to themselves put a nice scratch down it.
Got a new rear wheel bearing on the way as it's developed a bit of a noise.

seems a real nice car inside, with all them fitments, I bet it drives very smooth and quiet.
if it wasn't for the earth , there wouldn't be any universe, mother earth gave birth to all the creation! and without the earths gravitational pull, the sun and the moon would have long gone adrift!
Nice one mate, need a nice reliable car for work. Just need a little (vauxhall) project to keep you busy at the weekends
Turbo Power is here!!!! And my god i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers MSG, it is lovely. I've started taking it for granted now though! I got in it the other morning and the windscreen was steamed up, put the heated screen on and it cleared in seconds.
I remember all those mornings I spent with the blowers on watching the clear patch get bigger and bigger.
I love it.

HAHA bet you do mate, comfy modern car eh! will be nice and smooth and economical for you... unlesss you keep bolting on bhp lol. My brother has the v6 and although it went well had a fare few problems with things just wearing out quickly and bit falling off lol. Build is just as you would expect a budget exec motor to be. Still looks like a reasonable buy but i reckon i would have went for a passat.
Spent all last weekend doing the rear subframe bushes with my dad.

Need a new one TBH, mine's got a massive foot-long crack in it that developed over night.
One of my old housemates had a Seat Leon with dodgy door seals that used to ice up both sides. I bought him two cans of de-icer for Christmas, one for inside and one for outside. lmao

My convertible does it both sides if I leave it outside of the garage.

Shame about the crack though dudeDid it just happen randomly? I had similar, but i chucked a bucket of cold water after it sat in the sun all day lol my bad
